This review is from: French Country Cooking (Penguin Classics) (Mass Market Paperback)

This book was first published in 1951 teaching English people how to cook French. A whole lot has happened since then but this book remains a clasic for what it tried to achieve about a decade before Julia Child. The recipes are easy to follow. There are no pictures but it is a very usable book. It is a classic on French cooking in the English language.
